Gain Adjustment
Gain control lets you set the maximum amount of power that will be applied to your trailer's brakes, adjusting in increments of 1. How much braking output you need is determined by the weight of your trailer; a heavier trailer will need more power to bring it to a stop. You want to go as high as you can without the trailer brakes locking up. Typically, the gain is only readjusted when you experience changing road conditions or if the weight of your trailer changes. To get more power to your brakes, press the left-hand upper rocker switch. To decrease the gain, press the lower switch. When you make your adjustment, the gain setting will show on the LED screen for 5 seconds as a series of bars and then go into sleep mode to reduce drain on the battery.
Load Control
Once you have the gain set, you can fine-tune your braking by adjusting the load control on a scale of 1 to 9. This controls the aggressiveness of your trailer's braking, meaning how quickly the brakes reach the maximum braking level. Load control can get the braking power to your trailer faster and with more intensity so that it doesn't push your tow vehicle forward. If your vehicle takes too long to come to a stop, increase the setting by pressing the right-hand upper rocker switch. If it stops too abruptly, decrease the setting by pressing the lower switch. You can alter the setting to suit your driving preferences or to improve handling based on changing road conditions or varied trailer loads.
Pinch-Trigger Manual Override
The Venturer comes with a easy-to-reach, pinch-trigger manual override, great for stopping sway or controlling your trailer's momentum in emergencies. To engage the manual override, just push in the trigger. This will activate the trailer's brakes and brake lights without you having to apply the brakes on your tow vehicle, perfect for limiting trailer movement while you're cruising.
LED Display
The LED display on the Venturer is large and easy to read at a glance. It will show you what setting the brake controller is on as well as give you information for troubleshooting. You can adjust the screen brightness or trigger night mode so it won't glare obnoxiously on your dash. Press the control button to cycle through the different modes, shown as a bar - keeping it simple.
Quick Installation
Because inertia plays no role in the functioning of this controller, you do not have to mount the unit at any particular angle. Your mounting options are limitless, so long as you can still easily access the controller and the manual override. The included bracket is designed to mount the brake controller flush to the dash so it takes up almost no space at all.
The included custom-fit adapter plugs into the port on your vehicle's built-in brake control wiring harness, which you'll find underneath the dash, above the gas pedal, taped to another harness. Once you're plugged into your factory port, just plug the other end of the adapter into the Venturer. No hardwiring needed!
Note: If you don't already have a 7-way plug at the back of your vehicle, take a look at our exclusive 7- and 4-way brake controller installation kit (ETBC7 - sold separately).
Time-Delayed Braking
The Curt Venturer NEXT comes equipped with time-delayed braking. Every time you apply the brakes in your vehicle, a signal is sent - via the brake switch - to the Venturer. The controller then sends power out to your trailer brakes to activate them with an intensity set by you, at a rate determined by you. Both the amount of braking power (gain) and rate of application (load) can be adjusted to suit your preference, the road conditions, the type of trailer, and the weight of your load. To determine which levels are best for your application, test your towing setup and choose what feels right.

Video Transcript for Review of CURT Trailer Brake Controller - Venturer NEXT Trailer Brake Controler - C74VV
Hi there. I'm Michael with etrailer.com. Today we're gonna take a quick look at this CURT Venturer NEXT Trailer Brake Controller. Now, if you're not familiar, if you have electric trailer brakes on your trailer, you are going to need a brake controller in order to activate those brakes. Otherwise, they're not really doing anything for you. There are several different kinds of brake controllers out there, different features and that sorta thing.
This is really gonna be your more basic option. So it's not gonna have some of the more advanced features that allow you to control the intensity of your braking in the moment, but this is going to be enough to get your brakes functioning. So if you are just looking for the base model that's gonna do the job for you without having to pay a whole lotta money, this is gonna be a great way to go. This will work for your trailers that have up to three axles, so six brake assemblies. Basically the way this works, every time you apply the brakes in your vehicle, a signal is sent via your brake switch to the Venturer.
The controller is then gonna send that power out to your trailer brakes to activate them with an intensity that's preset by you. It does also have the predetermined rate, which is also set by you, and we'll get into what those two terms mean, but this is going to be a time delay system. So unlike some other brake controllers that are proportional, this is going to apply the brakes at the same intensity whether you're tapping on the brakes or slamming on the brakes in an emergency sorta situation, that your trailer's brakes are gonna apply at the same rate either way. Both the amount of your braking power, called the gain, and the rate of the application, which is called the load, can be adjusted to suit your preferences, the road conditions, the type of trailer you have, and the weight of your load. We've got the switches here that are going to allow you to very easily access that and adjust.
So we've got 10 different gain settings. You select a higher setting for your harder braking and a lower setting for your more gradual braking. You do wanna go as high as you can without your trailer's brakes locking up. That's a good indicator that you've gone a little too far, so you wanna come back down a little bit. Typically your gain is only gonna be readjusted when you're experiencing changing road conditions or if the weight of your trailer changes.
So if you've taken off your load, you might wanna adjust it so that it's not engaging as hard with that lighter empty trailer. This also provides nine different load settings, and that's gonna control the aggressiveness of your trailer's braking, meaning how quickly the brakes reach their maximum braking level. So you've got all that adjustability to preset it, but then once you apply the brakes, it's going to apply that same power and as quickly each time. So again, whether you're tapping on the brakes or you're slamming on them, the trailer's brakes are gonna apply that same amount of pressure. So unlike your proportional systems which will apply the trailer's brakes in proportion to how intense you're applying the tow vehicle's brakes, this is not gonna have that feature. It does have a very simple LED display that's gonna show the amount of power output. So you can adjust that in one-digit increments so that you can know where you're at, you know how much intensity you've got. The brightness is also adjustable, so you can view it optimally either. No matter if you're driving during the day or at night, you can adjust that brightness level. We also have the pinch trigger that's going to give you that manual override capability, so very easy to reach if your trailer begins to sway or if you're stopping in an emergency situation. You can activate your trailer's brakes and the brake lights without having to apply the brakes on your tow vehicle just by pushing in on that switch or that trigger there. This is gonna be very quick and easy to get installed. There really are no mounting restrictions. So with a proportional system, you have to have it mounted in a certain orientation for the internal components to sense the inertia. This, you don't have to worry about that. They've got this mounting bracket here with the included hardware that you can get mounted flat on your dash, and then it just kinda slips in place there, so basically flush with your dash. Very simple to get installed, and you don't have to worry about getting a certain orientation. You can mount it basically whichever way is gonna work best for your setup. You can see our width there. We're looking at approximately 3 1/8 of an inch wide. Our length, we're sitting at approximately four inches, and then our thickness, call it about an inch. So keep that in mind when determining where you're gonna mount this. Now, to get it wired in, it's gonna depend on your setup. If your vehicle is already equipped with a plug-in brake controller wiring harness, all you have to do is just connect the unit to it, so very simple there. If you don't have a built-in system, there are some plug-in vehicle-specific brake control wiring adapters available that are gonna help to reduce your installation time, and of course, that is gonna depend on your vehicle. So I'd recommend using our vehicle fit guide here at etrailer.com. You'll select your year, make and model of your vehicle. We'll let you know which products will work for you. So specifically for those vehicle-specific kinda products, that's more important, but if you do have one of those available, I'd highly recommend going with that. Otherwise, if you are just going to wire it in place, you are gonna need either the 20-amp circuit breaker if you have a two, three or four-brake application, so with two or four-brake application, or you'll need the 30-amp for a six-brake application. So depending on your setup, you'll need either one of those, and again, if you don't already have a seven-way plug at the back of your vehicle, I highly recommend our ETBC7 seven and four-way brake controller installation kit that you can see on the screen there. So that's gonna give you that plug at the back of your vehicle so that you can plug in your trailer's wiring and make sure everything is connected properly. This does come with a limited lifetime warranty. So if you we're to have any issues with it, you're more than welcome to reach out to us here at etrailer.com, but like I said, this is a very basic model. I think it's gonna get the job done for you. It's not gonna have a whole lot of bells and whistles and that sort of thing, but it is gonna help to apply those brakes on your trailer, and that completes our look for today. Again, I'm Michael with etrailer.com. Thanks for watching.

Delivered early. Was just what I wanted.
by: Dave04/15/2015
Installed on a 2014 dodge ram 1500... The wires took literally 2 seconds to find under the dash, per etrailers instructional video, and took another to 2 seconds to clip on the pigtail. Hooked up the brake controller and powered up fine. Haven't got a chance to use it yet since the car hauler is about 400 ft back on the property and I got the truck stuck going back to try and get it. Its awdul muddy here in michigan in April. Hopefully some warm weather soon so I can get to it and try this controller out! I ordered it on Wednesday, did 2nd day shipping and called to insure I could receive it by Friday, the lady on the phone had them ship it, within ten minutes I had a confirmation email.

See what our Experts say about this CURT Trailer Brake Controller
- Brake Controller For A 2013 Ram 1500 With Factory ConnectorYes, The Curt Echo Under-Dash Wireless Brake Controller # C27JR and The Curt Custom Wiring Adapter # C51453 are the only starting pieces that you will need for your 2013 Ram 1500. I would also recommend The Manual Override Button # C83HR. The brake controller's main unit will mount out of sight under dash giving you a clean interior. You can control the controllers braking activity directly from your phone. The user friendly mobile app saves multiple trailer profiles. I attached a review...
view full answer... - Which Curt Brake Controller Harness Fits a 2015 RamPart of the problem is the harness you are using is the incorrect one. You would need the part # C51458 for your 2015 Ram 1500 and not the # C51453. The correct harness for your does not have the extra wire that you are mentioning since your truck does not require it.
view full answer... - Trailer Brake Controller Applies Trailer Brakes when Headlights on 2013 Dodge Ram are Turned OnThe 2013 Dodge Ram has a unique wiring situation that requires a special wiring harness in order for the brake controller to work properly. For Curt that harness is # C51453. If you are not using the correct harness, then you would not be getting the proper brake signal when you step on the brake pedal. It sounds like the input wire to the brake controller or the output wire to the trailer brakes is somehow attached to an illumination circuit which will not work.
view full answer... - Brake Controller and Install Harness Recommendation for a 2014 Ram 1500The Curt Plug-In Wiring Adapter # C51453 that you referenced would be the correct harness for your 2013 Dodge Ram 1500 and would work with the Curt Brake Controller # C24VV. When installed correctly there should be no fault codes on your dashboard and you should not have to worry about having anything reflashed. No diodes would be necessary either, all you would need is the # C51453 harness and the controller and you would be good. I attached an install video for you to check out as well.
view full answer... - Fit of Curt Spectrum Brake Controller on 2013 Ram 2500The Curt # C51170 Spectrum brake controller would be an excellent choice for your 2013 Ram 2500. The control box mounts out of sight under the dash with the only visible portion being the control knob that can be installed on the dash or the center console, as long as it's in easy reach of the driver. The correct wiring harness is indeed the # C51453. I've linked you to instructions for the brake controller and the wiring harness.
view full answer... - Install Harness for Curt Brake Controller in 2013 Ram 1500To install the Curt Venturer part # C74VV in your 2013 Ram 1500 the correct install harness WOULD be the part # C51453 BUT your vehicle can't have this style of time delayed controller due to the the wiring of your vehicle. So you'd have to go with a proportional controller like the TriFlex part # C24VV. The 2013 Ram 1500 has "Powernet" and utilizes multiplex wiring that is different from previous models. Although the brake control connector is physically the same as the 2010-2012, the...
view full answer... - Are the Curt TriFlex # C24VV and Curt Adapter # C51453 a Fit for a 2014 Ram 1500 4WD 5.7 HemiYou have exactly what you need for installing a brake controller in your 2014 Ram 1500. Brake controllers, like your Curt TriFlex # C24VV, aren't necessarily vehicle specific, but the plug-in wiring adapter harnesses are. The correct one for your 1500 is the Curt # C51453 that you referenced. This will plug into the port under your driver side dash and allow you to easily install and remove the controller when needed.
view full answer... - Correct Brake Controller Plug for Curt Brake Controller on 2013 Dodge RamIf you have a Curt trailer brake controller like the Curt TriFlex Trailer Brake Controller part # C24VV then you'll use the Curt Custom Wiring Adapter for Trailer Brake Controllers part # C51453 to install this on your 2013 Dodge Ram which offers a direct plug-in installation.
view full answer... - Installing Brake Controller in 2014 Ram 2500 in Place of Factory Brake ControllerInstalling a brake controller in place of the factory controller in your 2014 Ram 2500 really depends on the controller you want to install. For example, if you use the fantastic Curt Echo Mobile Trailer Brake Controller # C51180 you only need to plug it into your 7-way and you're done - the controller is ready to use and your factory controller will no longer be responsive. All you need with the Echo is a smartphone; just download its app to set up the brake controller and that's it. Otherwise,...
view full answer... - Can the Curt Discovery Brake Controller # C51120 be Installed in a 2014 Ram 1500I spoke with Curt and they informed me that you can use the Curt Discovery Brake Controller part # C84VV in your 2014 Ram 1500 Laramie as long as you use the install harness part # C51453. It sounds like someone removed the connector from the end of your brake controller wiring, what you would need to do to wire up your controller to the # C51453 would be to cut off the black connector on the harness and match the wires up color for color.
view full answer... - Trailer Brakes Lock Up No matter What Setting is On the Brake Controller in a 2014 RamUsually when electric trailer brakes lock up it is because the brake pin on the trailer side connector is getting constant power. If you are using a 6-Way trailer connector or a 7-Way to 6-Way adapter then the likely cause is that the 12 volt circuit and the brake output circuit are switched. This switch happens because there are 2 ways a 6-Way can be pinned out. The center pin will either be 12 volt power or electric brake output. If you are using a 6-Way or adapter for a 6-Way all you...
view full answer... - How Does Curt Ventrer Brake Controller C74VV Connect Using Harness # 51453The Curt wiring adapter # C51453 is vehicle-specific and is used to connect a Curt brake controller like their Venturer # C74VV into a compatible Dodge Ram. In such an installation the black connectors from the controller and harness join together and the grey connectors on the harness will plug in to the under-dash port on the truck. If you were to want to hardwire the Reflex into just about any vehicle you could use the pigtail harness # C51515.
view full answer... - Curt Trailer Brake Controller Wiring Harness for a 2013 Ram 1500Yes, if you are using a Curt brand brake controller then harness # C51453 is the correct one for your 2013 Ram 1500. I have included a link to the installation instructions for you to view. If you have a different brand brake controller let me know what it is and I can recommend the proper harness.

If a brake controller is properly installed and set up, it will actually save wear and tear on the truck when towing. If you decide you want to install a brake controller like the Curt Venturer, part # C74VV, I highly recommend installing the Curt Custom Wiring Adapter, part # C51453. This makes installing the brake controller very simple. You just plug one end into the back of the brake...

It plugs into 2 places instead of just one like other trucks. It isn't a diode issue just an issue that where a controller plugs in the proper signal needed by the brake controller isn't present. So manufacturers determine where that signal can be obtained and developed new harnesses that plug in at 2 locations. For the Curt Reflex you would need wiring harness # C51453 for your 2014 Ram. I have linked a...

To activate the trailer brakes your Outback and trailer will need to have 7-Way trailer connectors. On the vehicle side you are only doing some hardwiring and you will use the existing 4-Way connector on the vehicle to do some of the installation. What you will need on the vehicle side is installation kit # ETBC7 and a brake controller. I recommend the P2 # 90885 because it is easy to...

Harness # C51322 fits Ford, Land Rover, Lincoln, and Mercury vehicles. The new Rams have a unique multiplex wiring system called Powernet. Because of this new design it requires a special brake controller harness, # C51453, which will allow the Curt brake controller to function properly.

That said, I would highly recommend going with the Prodigy P3 # 90195; it is the most popular model we carry due to its effectiveness and ease of use. It offers three different boost levels so you can adjust your braking power, has constant diagnostic checks, contains safeguards...
